Description

from Atlantis Submarines Big Island - Kona

Atlantis Adventures is proud to be recognized as the largest provider of tourist attractions on the Hawaiian Islands. Our spectacular island setting plays host to our flagship tourist offering, the Atlantis Submarine underwater adventure, featuring the most technologically advanced vessels of their kind.

My sister and I really enjoyed going underwater without getting wet. Wear comfortable shoes, you do go down a ladder to get inside the submarine, but it is fun. We saw a shark and many different types of fish and coral.

From beginning to end, we enjoyed our submarine dive on the Atlantis Submarine. We saw two shipwrecks, (and heard their stories), several coral reefs, myriads of fish, Moray eels, sea cucumbers, and even a shark! We dived to 109 feet deep at one point. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Kona. If you want to save money on the price, pick up gift cards to the Atlantis Submarines at Costco, and then buy your tickets with those.
